Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: 25 July 2026
What is an affiliate relationship?
When this site links to OhChat using an approved affiliate link, we may receive a commission if you subsequently subscribe or make a purchase. This is a standard commercial arrangement in digital publishing.
The commission is paid by the merchant (OhChat / Utility3 Ltd), not by you. You pay exactly the same price whether you use our link or navigate directly to OhChat.
How affiliate links are marked
All links that may generate a commission on this site are marked with:
rel="nofollow noopener sponsored"โ tells search engines the link is commercialtarget="_blank"โ opens in a new tab- A disclosure statement on the same page โ either in the age strip, disclosure box or article body
You can identify affiliate links by looking for the OhChat approved URL pattern. The tracking URL used on this site is:
https://t.vlmai-1.com/52513/10464/0?aff_sub5=SF_006OG000004lmDN
How this affects our editorial content
Our affiliate relationship does not influence our editorial verdicts. Specifically:
- We publish negative findings, caveats and concerns when the evidence requires them
- We mark features as "pending" when live testing has not been completed
- We do not remove or soften criticism in exchange for affiliate access
- Pricing and cancellation warnings are included even when they discourage purchases
- We distinguish between desk research and verified live-account findings
The long-term value of this site depends on reader trust, not short-term conversion rate. Misleading readers would undermine both.
FTC compliance
In accordance with the US Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose our material connection to OhChat on every page of this site that contains affiliate links.
We also comply with the UK ASA/CAP guidance on advertiser identification, and the EU Directive on unfair commercial practices regarding commercial intent disclosure.
Third-party links
This site also links to non-affiliate sources including OhChat's official Terms, Privacy Policy, the UK Companies House register and third-party research. These links carry no commercial relationship and are included purely for reference.
